Classic. Friday in a 76-40 victory over Emmaus Bible College
(Iowa), Petersen tied for a game-high 13 points while also leading
Eau Claire with four steals. Saturday he finished with a
double-double, scoring 25 points and pulling down 10 rebounds, both

Goshen College (Ind.) 79-73. For the week, he went 13-for-22 from
the field (59.1 percent), including 5-for-7 from beyond the arc,
and also went 7-for-10 (70 percent) from the free throw line.
